The landlord has multiple personalities and wants everyone to pay him.

Although he didn't have to see his father off today, Ye Shu didn't plan to open Corner Tea House for business.

It wasn't laziness, but rather a persistent worry in his mind: he didn't know how well their bodies were recovering.

This was his first time experiencing something like this, and he was a little unsure.

Seeing that Xia Qing was so uncomfortable on the first day that she couldn't even get out of bed, and although Zhi Qiu was able to go swimming and play on the second day and seemed to be fine, he knew Zhi Qiu's personality and that she was probably just putting on a brave face so as not to worry him.

So he has to check on Xiao Nuan today, since Xiao Nuan's greatest strength is that she doesn't lie.

If she's in pain, you can't tell the expression on her face, but what she says is absolutely the truth, and Ye Shuxin believes that.

I took another nap, but it wasn't very comfortable. Instead, my spine and legs felt sore.

When she opened her eyes again, Xiao Nuan was no longer in bed, while Ye Shu was still in the same side-lying position, with her legs curled up in a ball. The arm on the side that was pressed down was numb, and she couldn't feel her little finger.

He rubbed his little finger vigorously with his other hand while looking down. No wonder he was so tired after sleeping; both his legs were curled up.

When I sleep, I'm always holding this person or hugging that person, so there's no place for my legs to curl up. I can only stretch them out and use them as human cushions.

Today, my arms felt empty, there was no support, so after falling asleep, I curled up my legs and bent my back, just like that shrimp that "isn't a buddy".

After rubbing it for a while, Ye Shu finally regained feeling in her little finger. She silently straightened her legs and lay flat on the bed.

They say it takes 21 days to form a good habit. I've had this habit of sleeping with someone in my arms for so many days now, and when I wake up and there's no one next to me, I really feel a little uneasy.

After washing up, Qin Lili and Xiao Nuan were sitting on the sofa in the living room.

The TV was on, it seemed to be some kind of morning news, and the host was talking like he was chanting a mantra.

When Ye Shu saw the two sitting together, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Nuan had discovered her dream earlier. She couldn't... tell Qin Lili, could she?

But when Qin Lili heard a noise behind her, she turned around and saw him. She simply raised her chin and pointed to the dining table:

There is breakfast on the table.

"oh."

Looking at Qin Lili's state, Ye Shu seemed unaware that Xiao Nuan hadn't told her, which was good.

I sat down at the table. Breakfast was simple, all bought ready-made: a bowl of millet porridge, two steamed buns that looked like they were filled with meat, and a tea egg.

Ye Shu turned to look out the window. The weather wasn't very good today; it was a bit gloomy. She wondered if her father and the others had arrived at the airport yet.

Ye Shu glanced at his phone; it was 8:30. Xiao Tao had told him yesterday that their flight was at 7:50, so it had probably already taken off. The weather shouldn't delay the flight.

He took another bite of the bun. Where did he buy this bun? It took him two bites to get the filling. It was comparable to the buns in his high school cafeteria.

The steamed buns at Ye Shu's high school cafeteria had such thick skins that the filling was thin and the skin was huge. After taking two bites, you couldn't see the filling, and by the third bite, the filling was gone. For a long time, Ye Shu thought he was eating steamed buns.

He was criticizing his high school cafeteria when he saw Qin Lili stand up from the sofa and sway towards him.

She patted him on the shoulder, and the expression on her face... well, it was the expression of waiting to see a good show.

"Take care, I'm leaving now."

???

Ye Shu ate her steamed bun, completely bewildered. What was this all about? Where did this random "take care" come from?

Qin Lili didn't say anything, but kept glancing at the sofa and giving him meaningful looks.

Ye Shu also looked towards the sofa. Xiao Nuan was still sitting quietly on the sofa watching TV. From his angle, all he could see was her ponytail, and she was not moving at all.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Ye Shu asked in a low voice, still with the steamed bun in her mouth.

Qin Lili shrugged and whispered:

"I don't know either. It was like this when I left this morning. Anyway, I'm planning to go out and hide for a while. Don't wait for me for lunch. I'll be back tonight."

"No... is it really that serious?"

Ye Shu watched as Qin Lili grinned at her, then turned and darted to the entrance as if fleeing a disaster. She changed her shoes and ran off without looking back, as if a dog was chasing her.

Holy crap, Qin Lili is running away, what is Xiao Nuan trying to do?

Ye Shu was still holding a steamed bun she had only taken a few bites of. She glanced at the motionless back of the head on the sofa, then looked down at the steamed bun in her hand...

Suddenly, I didn't find steamed buns appealing anymore. When you're feeling uncertain, nothing tastes good anymore.

The last time Ye Shu felt this way was when she was in junior high school, when her mother went to a parent-teacher conference and she was waiting at home for the judgment to come.

He swallowed the bun in his mouth, put the rest back on the plate, and began to mentally rehearse a series of possible scenarios.

A: Xiao Nuan is feeling unwell, just like Xia Qing.

B: Xiaonuan is angry about that incident, just like Sister Zhiqiu.

C: The Xiao Nuan system is unresponsive... It's stuck.

Ye Shu slowly shuffled to the edge of the sofa and plopped down next to Xiao Nuan, but didn't rush to speak, instead observing first.

This was a trick he learned when he was a child. Every time his mother went to a parent-teacher conference, he would not dare to say "okay" first when she came back, but would first look at his mother's expression.

If your mom glares at you, it means there's no big problem; you'll just get a couple of scoldings and that'll be it.

But if your mom doesn't even glance at you, then you're most likely the gorilla's brother, the baboon.

This trick works on everyone, but it doesn't work on Xiao Nuan.

Xiao Nuan's face was as blank as a sheet of paper. Ye Shu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, but he still couldn't see anything.

She was such a quiet writer, her eyes always fixed on the television screen, just watching.

Holy crap, this is agonizing.

It's like when you were in school, you were eating instant noodles during break, and suddenly a classmate came up to you mysteriously and said, "You just wait, you're doomed..." and then ran away, leaving you sitting there alone.

For the next three days or so, I'll be living in constant fear, my mind replaying all the mistakes I've made recently.

Ye Shu was feeling exactly like that. His mind was racing through the events of the past few days: Xiao Xue's wedding, their passionate night together, Xia Qing's stomachache, his near drowning yesterday, his duel with Zhi Qiu in the disabled bathroom, and the dream he had this morning about the four heroes fighting Lu Bu...

In the end, Ye Shu came to a conclusion: it was all Qin Lili's fault!

Leaving behind a casual "take care" and running off, isn't that just making things difficult for themselves?!

……

Meanwhile, in the underground parking garage, Qin Lili had just stepped out of the elevator.

The cool breeze in the underground parking garage made her sneeze.

"Achoo!"

She rubbed her nose and muttered something:

"It's so cold in this underground parking garage, I hope I don't catch a cold."

After saying that, he took out his car keys, humming a little tune as he walked towards his car, completely unaware of the immense emotional damage his words had caused to a young man in his twenties. Hmm~
